UF football starters on the mend
Florida tailback Matt Jones is back on his feet, and could possibly be back on the practice field in the next week or so.
"Matt Jones is in the building and moving around a little bit," UF coach Will Muschamp said Monday. "Hopefully, maybe try and see next week and try to get him active."
The prognosis for Jones seems much brighter than last Friday, when Muschamp said UF was in "unchartered waters" in terms of knowing when Jones might be able to return from a viral infection and what kind of shape he could be in when he eventually returned.
Muschamp said he's seen his No. 1 tailback and has had a chance to talk to him.
"Good," Muschamp said when asked how Jones looks. "He's fine. I think he lost about eight pounds, maybe eight-to-10 pounds of something like that.
"He looked good. He's moving around a little bit and was on the (stationary) bike the other day. We're just trying to get him back in the swing of things."
Muschamp said Jones is over the infection that led to him being hospitalized about two weeks ago.
"Just recovering (now)," Muschamp said.
Muschamp's starting quarterback also continues to recover. Jeff Driskel underwent appendectomy surgery a week ago Tuesday and has been attending practices and meetings.
Muschamp said he'll have a better idea about Driskel's timetable for returning later in the week.
"Driskel has been out at practice," Muschamp said. "He's obviously not doing anything physically right now. He meets with the doctor Wednesday or Thursday. We'll know more then."
In the meantime, Driskel will continue to advise the other quarterbacks on certain things at practice, and continue to be a team leader, Muschamp said.
"He's talking to the quarterbacks and obviously going through the mental reads behind the offense as far as where to take the ball and where to go in the run game and take the ball down the field and those things," Muschamp said. "I don't think (the appendectomy) has affected his leadership.
"Jeff's got great respect on this football team by his teammates and the job he did this summer. The feedback I've gotten from our players is what a great job he did with our football team.
"You talk to each player, especially offensive players. Most of the defensive guys, to a man, they know this is his football team. You earn that respect. He's certainly done that."
There is no timetable for Driskel's return, but he may have one once he sees the doctor later in the week.
Two other injured offensive starters — guards Jon Halapio (partially torn pectoral muscle) and Max Garcia (back) — also are scheduled to see the doctor this week.
"Jon Halapio is doing very well," Muschamp said. "He meets with the doctor, I believe, Friday. Max Garcia meets with the doctor (today)."
Muschamp reported only two other injuries Monday.
"(True freshman offensive tackle) Rod Johnson's knee flared up a little bit, but he ought to be back today or tomorrow. I may have to work him out (Monday) or (today).
"(Defensive tackle) Leon Orr sprained his thumb, but should be back (Monday). It's nothing serious. Everybody else has been doing pretty well. That's kind of where we are."

Tamarind Lithography Workshop, founded in Los Angeles in 1960 by artist June Wayne with a Ford Foundation Grant, was a cornerstone of the 1960s American print renaissance. Wayne was awarded the grant for her project to train both artists and printmakers in traditional lithography. The medium had lost its domestic prominence after World War II, and artists who wanted to work in the art form had no choice but to print in Europe. Wayne designed programs to bring together artists and printers-in-training for several months and have them work closely with each other during all stages of the printmaking process in order to learn, experiment, and achieve a high standard of quality. In just a few years Wayne attracted dozens of artists to Tamarind, including Ed Ruscha, Ken Price, Bruce Conner, Leon Golub, and, not least, John McLaughlin, whose prints are on view in the Art of the Americas Building.
McLaughlin was invited to work at Tamarind as guest artist in October 1962. He returned for a longer stay as a Tamarind Fellowship Artist from April until the end of July 1963. In some respects, he was a logical choice for the print shop because he lived and worked in Dana Point, CA, not far from Los Angeles. However, most artists active at Tamarind worked in a figurative, Pop, or Abstract Expressionist style, quite different from McLaughlin's solid rectangles and crisp lines. This geometric style became known as Hard-Edge Abstraction and later fell under the heading of Minimalism. McLaughlin looked back on his experience at Tamarind with mixed feelings. He was not hugely receptive to the collaborative aspects of printmaking and decided not to work in lithography again. Despite his reservations, McLaughlin's time at Tamarind was productive and his prints helped prove the suitability of lithography for all styles of art.
During the ten years that Tamarind Lithography Workshop was located at 1112 N. Tamarind Avenue in Hollywood (before moving to the University of New Mexico in 1970), it helped revitalize lithography in the United States by training master printers in the intricacies and possibilities of the medium. These printers went on to start their own print shops, which catered to a growing field of artists interested in lithography and, in turn, they trained their own apprentices. Two of the largest and most innovative print shops in Los Angeles can trace their lineage back to Tamarind. Jean Milant, a Tamarind-trained printer, opened Cirrus Editions in 1970 and works with people as diverse as John Baldessari, Bruce Nauman, and Vija Celmins. Perhaps the best known press to come out of Tamarind is Gemini G.E.L., founded in 1966 by master printer Ken Tyler. Gemini invited artists from New York, like Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, and worked with L.A- based artists like Edward Kienholz. Today it is considered to be one of the premier printers and publishers of lithographs in the world. The vibrant Los Angeles print scene we know today has its roots in the work made at Tamarind, such as the lithographs of McLaughlin currently on view at LACMA. A retrospective of John McLaughlin's work is planned for fall 2016 at LACMA.

Man held in Aaron Hernandez murder case waives extradition
Ernest Wallace charged as accessory in death of Odin Lloyd
A man arrested in Florida agreed Friday to return to Massachusetts to face a charge in the murder case against former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.
Ernest Wallace, 41, faces a charge of accessory after the fact in the slaying semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. Wallace turned himself in at a Miramar, Fla., police station last week.
An assistant to Broward County Judge John Hurley said Wallace waived extradition Monday and agreed to go back to Massachusetts.
In a statement, prosecutors in Bristol County, Mass., said they have 10 days to pick him up. They gave no indication when they would do so.
Photo timeline: Hernandez charged with murder
Prosecutors say Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd's execution-style shooting near Hernandez's North Attleborough home on June 17. They say it happened after the two went to a night club a few days earlier and Lloyd, 27, spoke to people Hernandez didn't want him talking to.
Hernandez is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder. His lawyers say that the case against Hernandez is circumstantial and that he's eager to clear his name.
Prosecutors say Wallace and another man, Carlos Ortiz, were in the car with Hernandez when the three men picked up Lloyd on June 17, drove him to an industrial park and shot him five times. They have not said who fired the shots.
Ortiz is being held on a charge of carrying an unlicensed firearm in North Attleborough on the day Lloyd was shot. His attorney described Ortiz as a "gentle person" and said he had advised him to plead not guilty.
The three men are all linked to Bristol, Conn., where Hernandez grew up. Ortiz had been living in Bristol, and authorities had addresses for Wallace there and in Miramar.
Last summer, Hernandez, 23, signed a five-year contract worth $40 million with the Patriots. The team released him the day of his arrest, and he could face life in prison if convicted.

Benedict Carey has an interesting story in the Herald Tribune, "A Cold Stare Can Make You Crave Some Heat." Here's a sample.
* * *
For every congenial character who can warm a room, there's another who can bring a draft from the north, a whiff of dead winter. And even if the thermometer doesn't register the difference, people do: social iciness feels so cold to those on the receiving end that they will crave a hot drink, a new study has found.
The paper, appearing in the current issue of the journal Psychological Science, is the latest finding from the field of embodied cognition, in which researchers have shown that the language of metaphor can activate physical sensations, and vice versa.
Just as spreading a bad rumor can make people feel literally dirty, so did research subjects who felt socially excluded perceive a significantly lower room temperature than those who felt included.
"We know that being excluded is psychologically painful," said the lead author, Chen-Bo Zhong, a psychologist at the University of Toronto, "and here we found that it feels just like it's described in metaphors," like icy stare and frosty reception.
[Situationist contributor] John Bargh, a psychologist at Yale who was not involved in the research, said the finding made "perfect sense." In an e-mail message, he noted that a brain region called the insula tracks both body temperature and general psychological states, and it may be here where social perceptions and sensations of warmth or coldness are fused.
In the new paper, Dr. Zhong and Geoffrey J. Leonardelli, also a psychologist at Toronto, describe two experiments.
In one, they split 65 students into two groups, instructing those in one to recall a time when they felt socially rejected, and those in the other to summon a memory of social acceptance.
Many of the students were recent immigrants and had fresh memories of being isolated in the dorms, left behind while roommates went out, Dr. Zhong said.
The researchers then had each of the participants estimate the temperature in the lab room. The students who had recalled being excluded estimated the temperature to be, on average, 5 degrees Fahrenheit lower than the others.

Police: Suspected killer spotted
ROSCOE — Northern Winnebago County was a flurry of police activity Thursday evening after a possible sighting of Terence Doddy, a 36-year-old Rockford man suspected of killing two people this week.
Local, county and state police officers scoured northern Winnebago County after a motorists and an off-duty Winnebago County Sheriff's detective saw in the area of Old River and Latham roads a vehicle with the license plate number matching that of a vehicle Doddy is alleged to have taken earlier this week, said Winnebago County Sheriff's Sgt. Doug Bushman. The vehicle sped off north on Old River.
As of 10:30 p.m., police had searched residential subdivisions, forest preserves, golf courses, a quarry and other locations in northern Winnebago County.
Doddy is suspected in the Monday slaying of his longtime friend Todd Hansmeier, 37, of Rockford. Hansmeier's body was found Monday morning at the offices of QVSM, a Rockford call center where Doddy worked.
Doddy also is suspected of attacking and killing Tonya Bargman, 44, of Monticello, on Tuesday as she exited the Willow Creek Rest Area bathroom on Interstate 39 near Paw Paw. Doddy is believed to have taken Bargman's gray 2013 Nissan Altima with Illinois plate BARGMN2 and returned to the Rockford region. The car has a silver-colored "Illini Nissan" decal located at the lower rear bumper.
Earlier Thursday, authorities released an updated photo of Doddy obtained from an unnamed store where surveillance camera footage apparently captured footage of him leaving with unspecified items in a shopping cart. Police say Doddy may be in possession of a blue dome-styled camping tent.
Rockford Police Department officers are working with the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department, state police and U.S. Marshals among others to locate Doddy.
Doddy is to be considered dangerous. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call Rockford police at 815-987-5824 or Crime Stoppers at 815-963-7867.

Washington (CNN) – Republican lawmakers said Tuesday their meeting with Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and the acting CIA director left them with more unanswered questions about her remarks following the September 11, 2012 attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead.
Speaking to reporters after the morning meeting, Sen. John McCain said he and fellow Republicans Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Lindsey Graham were "significantly troubled" by many of the answers they received from Rice, who asked for the meeting with the three senators after they issued sharp criticism of her response to the Benghazi attack.
"It was clear that the information that she gave the American people was incorrect when she said that it was a spontaneous demonstration triggered by a hateful video," McCain said. "There was compelling evidence at the time that was certainly not the case, including statements by Libyans as well as other Americans who are fully aware that people don't bring mortars and rocket propelled grenades to a spontaneous demonstration."
Graham, speaking after McCain, said he was "more disturbed now than I was before that 16 September explanation about how four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya, by Ambassador Rice."
"I think it does not do justice to the reality at the time and in hindsight was clearly completely wrong. But here's the key. In real time, it was a statement disconnected from reality," the South Carolina Republican said.
McCain, Graham, and Ayotte have led the criticism of Rice after her television appearances days after the September attack, which killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens.
They and other Republicans said they would block the nomination of Rice, should she be advanced by President Barack Obama to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who has said she will leave her post when a replacement is ready to be installed.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney responded with a defense of Rice: "The focus on – some might say obsession on – comments made on Sunday shows seems to me and to many to be misplaced."
"There are no unanswered questions about ambassador Rice's appearance on Sunday shows and the talking points that she used for those appearances that were provided by the intelligence community," he said at Tuesday's White House briefing for reporters. "Those questions have been answered. The questions that remain to be answered - and that the President insists are answered - have to do with what happened in Benghazi: who was responsible for the deaths of four Americans, including our ambassador, and what steps we need to take to ensure that something like that does not happen again."
In the meeting, Rice "stressed that neither I nor anyone else in the Administration intended to mislead the American people at any stage in this process, and the Administration updated Congress and the American people as our assessments evolved," according to a statement she released.
She said the meeting was attended by acting CIA Director Michael Morell, who took the reins of the spy agency two weeks ago after the sudden resignation of director David Petraeus amid an extramarital affair. Petraeus briefed lawmakers on the attacks before Thanksgiving.
"In the course of the meeting, we explained that the talking points provided by the intelligence community, and the initial assessment upon which they were based, were incorrect in a key respect: there was no protest or demonstration in Benghazi," Rice said in the statement. "While we certainly wish that we had had perfect information just days after the terrorist attack, as is often the case, the intelligence assessment has evolved."
Graham said on Tuesday it was too soon to make a determination on whether or not to block a potential Rice nomination, saying "before anybody can make an intelligent decision about promoting someone involved in Benghazi, we need to do a lot more."
"All I can tell you are that the concerns I have are greater today than they were before and we're not even close to getting the basic answers," he continued.
Later this week, Rice will meet with Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the top Republican on the homeland security committee, which is investigating the Benghazi attack. Collins has not been as critical of Rice as McCain, Graham and Ayotte but has said Rice needs to explain what happened.
This weekend, McCain expressed more openness to her potentially filling that post, saying he would "give everyone the benefit of explaining their position and the actions that they took. I'd be glad to have the opportunity to discuss these issues with her."
He denied Tuesday those remarks reflected a "softening" of his position on Rice.
Rice has not been offered the position but is suspected to top the list of possible successors. At a press conference after his re-election, Obama called McCain and Graham's criticism of Rice "outrageous," adding that if they "and others want to go after someone they should go after me."
The ambassador said she was using de-classified talking points that did not reference the attack as a pre-meditated terror attack, and the spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence later said those talking points were prepared by the intelligence community, and not modified by other governmental agencies.
"When discussing the attacks on our facilities in Benghazi, I relied solely and squarely on the information provided to me by the intelligence community. I made clear that the information was preliminary," Rice told reporters last Wednesday.
McCain charged on the floor of the U.S. Senate hours before Obama's post-election press conference that "this president and this administration has either been guilty of colossal incompetence or engaged in a cover up, neither of which are acceptable to the American people."
Republicans have questioned why the administration used Rice as their spokeswoman, rather than an official more closely involved with the investigation, as well as why the U.S. timeline included a protest surrounding a controversial anti-Islam web video, which now appears to have not been a factor.
On Monday, Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, a GOP member of the Foreign Relations Committee who recently said Rice was "not fitting" to be Secretary of State in part because of comments on the attack, appeared to shift his views about Rice.
Inhofe said Rice may have been "thrown under the bus" because she wasn't given the full details of what happened before going on television.
"I assumed she had full knowledge of everything that went on," Inhofe said about his initial criticism of Rice. "I'm not at all convinced of that now. I think she very well could have been thrown under the bus."
Inhofe said Monday he has had no request to meet with Rice at this point but that he would be glad to meet with her.
- CNN's Gregory Wallace and Kevin Liptak contributed to this report
We have been at war for over a decade. This act of terror is unfortunante and our hearts go out to the families. Our hearts also go out to the families of the those who have served and sacraficed to protect our country during this time of war.

Unframed's Alex Capriotti toured the exhibition Ohie Toshio and the Perfection of the Japanese Book with artist Ohie Toshio, Dr. John Solt, and LACMA curator Hollis Goodall. Dr. Solt translated for the artist as we talked about the his process, inspiration, and how the exhibition came together. Ohie Toshio will be in the galleries throughout his the run of the exhibition to speak with visitors about his craft. Drop by on August 26, September 11, September 30, or October 9 at 2 pm to chat about the art of book design.
Alex Capriotti: How did you become interested in the art of bookbinding?
Ohie Toshio: I feel that, within books, there is a heart or mind and that's what first moved me. I was in my teens when I saw the outside of books and felt like there was some kind of connection I was feeling from inside the books. When I read the foreword and the afterword of books I felt even more so that there was something more inside these books, something to know about.
It had been about a hundred years since the introduction of Western bookbinding in Japan. I wanted to gain an understanding of the origin of the heart [Dr. John Solt: In Japan, the words heart and mind are the same word.] of the books and so I decided to travel to France to study it at the source.
AC: Where did you study in France?
OT: I attended Ecole Superieure Estienne des Arts et Industries Graphiques, a special school which taught traditional ways of bookbinding. But I couldn't speak French. It was difficult, but I managed to learn the process without speaking.
JS: At this school, they had two different courses. One was making a deluxe book by putting in a minimum of 200 hours into the project. The other was a course which taught how to make books in quantities of 10, 30, 50, or more. No one has ever done both courses except for him.
OT: This was a great experience for me. I was able to work with some of the best teachers and designers in bookbinding. I also loved the contents of the books. It was just amazing.
JS: For him, the whole point of what he is doing is not the covers—that's just a part of it. The thing is the author and the content. The author has written a book and it is now his job to convey from the author to the reader the most beautiful and best way to read it and take it in—the paper the illustrations, the cover, the font—everything is part of conveying the soul of the author to the reader. The cover is a piece of that.
AC: Did you find that you had to work to fuse Japanese and Western traditions of bookbinding?
OT: While illustrated books that stood on their own as splendid works of art have long existed in Japan, there was no history of the bound book as a luxury item as there was in France. They were mostly using cheaper ways of printing books. They were not yet exposed to the type of book I create which has a lot of thought and heart in it. Decorative bookbinding had to first be brought in line with Japanese tastes before local audiences could appreciate it. Eventually, the Japanese people began to appreciate elements of this craft like the use of deluxe Japanese papers and mosaic-onlaid leathers.
JS: He is taking the French technique of bookbinding, and then using Japanese techniques like color combinations and the use of blank space and applies those elements to his books.
AC: And did the French also have the idea of trying to capture the heart of a book in its encasing?
OT: The French don't think that at all. They only made books for money. I'm experimenting with trying to figure out how to transmit to the next generation the idea of the heart that goes into the book, the paper, and the illustrator.

Ocean to Outback
Australian landscape paintings 1850-1950
3 Aug 2007—3 May 2009
To mark the 25th anniversary of the National Gallery of Australia, an exhibition of treasured works from the National Collection. Ocean to Outback: Australian Landscape Painting 1850–1950 has been curated by National Gallery Director, Ron Radford AM and celebrates the rich history of landscape painting in Australia.
The exhibition documents the most dynamic century of landscape painting from the colonial 1850s to the immediate period following World War II. Over this century, landscape painting was the "great" subject of Australian art, a theme that reflected the changing nature of a nation's identity. Landscape subjects also became popular with the general public as Australians began to visit their own museums and galleries to see images of their country. The fascination and love of the Australian landscape continues to this day.
Ocean to Outback reflects the great strengths of the National Collection and includes works taken from the permanent display, others restored and reframed in period style, a number of new acquisitions, and some works that have never been shown before.
Every Australian state and territory is represented through the works by iconic artists such as: Thomas Baines, Clarice Beckett, Arthur Boyd, Charles Conder, Grace Cossington Smith, Ray Crooke, Russell Drysdale, Harry Garlick, Elioth Gruner, Hans Heysen, Sidney Nolan, Margaret Preston, Tom Roberts, Jeffrey Smart, Arthur Streeton, Howard Taylor, Albert Tucker and Eugene Von Guerard among others.

The original website for this exhibition was published in 2007 and has been archived for research purposes.

Last week, I weighed in on the debate about the novel Huckleberry Finn in my colleague Cynthia Haven's blog The Book Haven. There's a current debate over a new edition of the novel in which the word "nigger" is replaced by the word "slave." While the intention is noble, I think it misses the point.
My argument is that those who teach the novel need to be fully aware of what they are teaching, the feelings the novel and the word "nigger" evoke and the specific classroom context they find themselves teaching in.
The debate over the use of the word is not new. My father wrote about it in the column below in 1933. He did not mention Huckleberry Finn, but he referred to the repeated use of the word in Eugene O'Neill's Emperor Jones, the 1933 film version of which featured Paul Robeson in the lead.
"Brutus, or Emperor Jones, an obviously uncultured Negro, rises from obscurity in his nation's South to the dizzy heights of self-appointed Emperor. He makes his way [as] a Pullman Porter, a gambler, a member of a chain gang, a coal passer on a steamer, a bartered slave – and even leaves a few murders in his wake. In his ascent he encounters no institutions of learning – his vocabulary is broken and ungrammatical from the onset – yet Negroes expect the word 'Negro' in his uncultured diction. . . . Harlemites don't have to go to see Emperor Jones to hear the profuse use of the objectionable word, just pass by any group of street-corner loafers, or listen carefully from your apartment window."
He noted that in Barbados, it was the speaker – not the spoken to – who was looked upon as uncultured when the word was used. He took issue with one of his fellow New York Age columnists, who was Jamaican, who generalized that in the West Indies the word was used to refer to the black laborer.
"He has made the same mistake so many of us make – that of characterizing a West Indian by his knowledge of his own native brethren. There are scores of tropical islands and a few colonies, and there are also a few noticeably different though minor traits in each island's group. In Barbados – and we have them – a Negro laborer is known as a "laborer," and not as a nigger.
Thousands of Negroes must have lived and died in the island of Barbados without the regretful realization that he was a Negro. Without a doubt we have our racial handicaps, but the fact is not repeatedly thrust down our throats. Our financial status – or lack of it – seems our greatest handicap. A printer is a printer not because he is a Negro, but generally because he as not financially able to be what he might consider better . . . " (I wonder if he was referring to himself.)
One of the comments on the Book Haven discussion, accused those of us who were concerned about teaching and reading Huckleberry Finn of hypocrisy.
The reader said, "many who defend the unlimited freedom of artists to create graphically sexual and blasphemous photos at public expense in the name of freedom of speech and against the bugabear of censorship (even though these images hurt and offend many) now seem willing to bend the same principles, for what? Because some people will be hurt and offended by the N word? And the people who will be hurt and offended are who? The same people who listen to music whose lyrics use the N word constantly?Anybody besides me see this as a huge contradiction?"
Talk about generalizations! Is this person suggesting that all of the people who are offended by the use of "nigger' in Huckleberry Finn are not offended by the use of the word in rap lyrics? Black people have been conflicted about the use of the word in the public sphere for decades. Remember when Richard Pryor came back from Africa and vowed never to use the word again?
Robeson himself stopped singing the word in renditions of Showboat's "Ol' Man River" that he performed in recitals. (He did not change the lyrics when he appeared in Showboat productions.) In those recitals, he replaced he word "nigger" with "darkies." "Colored folks," has been used in revivals of Showboat since the mid 40s.
Ebenezer was of the mind that if black folks stopped using the word, perhaps others would stop using it too.
"When Negroes cease to include the word 'nigger' in their vocabulary, white playwrights may rally to the cause and exclude it from their scripts," my father writes. "How soon will that be? How soon? We prefer not to think."
How about 77 years and counting?

My article series on "Buying and Selling a Blog" on the Blog Herald include the following articles:
- Selling Your Blog: What Are Buyers Looking For
- Selling Your Blog: What Goes Into the Selling Price
- Can You Sell Your Blog?
There is a lot more information on the web, especially experiential information by those who have "been there, done that" to help you understand the marketability of your blog and how to buy and sell blogs. Here are some examples I've found.
Darren Rowse of Problogger has recently written several articles on buying and selling blogs including Selling Blogs, Blogs for Sale – How Much is Your Blog Worth?, How to Sell Your Blog, How Much is an Adsense Website Worth, Google Ranking Factors, Selling a Blog, How Much Is a Blog Post Worth? A Formula?, and Selling Blogs – Factors of Valuation.
Buying and Selling Blogs: How Do You Value Blogs? is the first in a short series Chris Garrett wrote on buying and selling blogs, pointing out how to determine if your blog is marketable, and how to put a value your blog.
SavvySoloCAST #26 – Buying and Selling Blogs – How Much Are They Worth (Part 1)? and Part 2 cover the selling of a blog and the personal experience as a "case-study" conversation on the buying and selling of blogs and websites. Mostly, it covers how the valuation process works.
Jeremy Wright On Weblogs, Professional Blogging and Buying/Selling Blogs is an interview with one of the head honchos of b5media and covers some of his tips and information on the buying and selling of blogs by someone who buys and sells a lot of blogs, and is a leader in the blog business.
Blogtrepreneur's guide on "Buying and Selling Domains" isn't restricted to blogs, but is an interesting look at the issue of domains and choosing them, as well as buying and selling them. Some of their tips are valid, though some are dated. For instance, choosing the right domain name can make or break your blog, though many are doing well with disconnected and inappropriate URLs, and even WordPress.com URLs like mine. We travel a lot more today on the web through links and search engines rather than just word of mouth, so I think that the need for a perfect domain name will fade as the quality of the blog's content will build its reputation faster than a snappy, easy-to-remember URL. It's more important your name or blog name is "findable" and memorable than your domain name.
Your Complete Guide to Buying & Selling Blogs is not a "complete" guide, but a good attempt to look at many of the reasons why you would sell or buy a blog. It doesn't get into the details of what it really takes to sell a blog, or even buy one, such as the valuation process or negotiation. If you are debating about selling or buying, the article makes some good points.
Selling Blogs: Thick Skin is a Requirement looks at what it takes to sell a blog, using examples from Aaron Brazell's experience trying to sell his site, with some good insights on what to do and not do during the process.
Valuation of Drudge Report on Portfolio.com is an interesting look at how to put a price on the Drudge Report. Most interesting is what will it take to make the seller sell. Sometimes, it takes a little, sometimes it takes a lot, and the real price is somewhere around there.
I expect to see a lot more buying and selling of blogs this year. They've turned into quite the commodity. Would you sell yours? What would it take to make you sell your blog?

Palestinian-American teen beaten in Mideast returns to Florida, thinks of freedom differently
TAMPA, Fla. – The Palestinian-American teenager who relatives say was beaten by Israeli authorities has returned home to Florida and says he will never think of freedom in the same way again.
Tariq Abu Khdeir, 15, and his mother flew back to Tampa late Wednesday on a flight arriving from New York and were greeted by about 50 cheering supporters waving American and Palestinian flags. The Khdeirs had flown out of Israel earlier in the day.
"I am only 15 but I will never think of freedom the same as I did two months ago," Tariq said upon arrival at Tampa International Airport. "No child, whether they are Palestinian or Israeli, deserves to die."
The teenager said the thoughts and prayers of the supporters had helped him, adding "I got through these past two weeks because I knew you were all thinking of me."
Now, he said, he just wanted some relaxation and time with friends. "It feels so good to be back in Tampa. Can I even put it in words? I can't wait to go back to play with my friends and go fishing," he added.
Hassan Shibly, the teen's attorney and the executive director of the Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said Monday that Tariq suffered head trauma and had to receive stitches on his face when beaten two weeks ago as he was arrested during a protest. Supporters say Tariq's beating was videotaped. The Israeli justice ministry has said an investigation has been opened into the footage.
There were no immediately apparent signs of injuries to Khdeir on his arrival.
Israeli authorities released Tariq shortly after his arrest and sentenced him to nine days of house arrest while they investigated what they say was his participation in violent protests over the death of Tariq's cousin, 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir. His family denied that he participated in the protests. Palestinians suspect Mohammed Abu Khdeir was killed by Israeli extremists exacting revenge for the abduction and killings of three Israeli teens in the West Bank last month.
His mother, Suha Khdeir, said Wednesday in Tampa that the last two weeks had been a "nightmare." She wiped tears from her eyes as she spoke and added she was "grateful" for the support she received at home in the Tampa area.
"I cannot begin to describe to you the pain I felt when I looked at his face for the first time after that beating," she said.
Friends and family have said Tariq went on a vacation to visit relatives he hadn't seen in about 10 years — not to be part of a conflict. They have described him as a good student who likes basketball, soccer and video games.
Tariq's arrest happened shortly before Israel attacked Gaza to stop Hamas members from launching rockets into its territory. Earlier Wednesday, Israel and Hamas agreed to a five-hour U.N. brokered "humanitarian" pause to their 9-day-long battle, offering the most encouraging sign yet that the fierce fighting could come to an end. Israel's bombardment of Gaza has killed more than 200 Palestinians, including four boys struck on a beach Wednesday by shells fired from a navy ship.
The attorney Shibly said Monday that a complaint has been filed with the Israeli government by the teen's father.

Color Options from American Patchwork & Quilting June 2013
Garden Stroll
Designer: Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts
Piecing that mimics the look of latticework evokes the feel of an elegant English garden when combined with floral prints. Fabrics are from the Cinnamon Spice collection by Blackbird Designs for Moda Fabrics.
Garden Stroll Color Option
City Map Wall Hanging
Quilt tester Laura Boehnke took Garden Stroll to Italy. She replaced the pieced center of the original quilt with a novelty Italian map print, which makes an eye-catching focal point. The lattice-work look of the original quilt's border blocks now mimic the look of crisscrossing streets. A mix of striped, polka dot, solid, chevron, and themed fabrics gives the piece a fresh, fun feel. The small squares of these prints pop against the white background.
Garden Stroll Color Option
A blend of favorite stash fabrics plus a few newcomers turn into a delightful wall hanging. Executive editor Jennifer Keltner created this mix as her final exam during her Stash Rx lesson with designer Weeks Ringle. Adding in a textured cream print background lends some distinction to each of the bold, funky prints, giving them a chance to shine.
Coast Lines
Designer: Amy Walsh of Blue Underground Studios
Thin strips of hand-dyed, suede-look solids in beach-glass colors create a strikingly graphic throw of fine lines and visual texture. Fabrics are from Cherrywood Fabrics.
Coast Lines Color Option
If solids aren't your style, don't think you have to pass over Coast Lines. The design works equally well in the mix of assorted reds. A blend of florals, solids, and abstract and themed prints-including leaves, apples, and the alphabet-are warmed up by shared shades of red. The key to making the seemingly disparate fabrics work together is the black fabric, which mediates the mix.
Coast Lines Color Option
It's a toss-up. Do the striations in this batik version remind you of the beautiful strata created in natural stones, such as Michigan's Pictured Rocks? With amethyst-inspired horizontal breaks, it's a palette Mother Nature would approve. Or do you picture it sideways, like the horizon during a magnificent sunset? Then the purple breaks appear almost to be backlit fence posts. Fabrics are from the Artisan Batiks: Patina Handpaints collection by Lunn Studios for Robert Kaufman Fabrics.
Mix of Ingredients
Designer: Kathy Cardiff of The Cottage at Cardiff Farms
A batch of hand-dyed wool and a dash of Japanese wovens blends beautifully in a small wall hanging. Whip up a background--a grid of cotton squares--from scratch, then add fusible wool appliqué.
Mix of Ingredients Color Option
If wool isn't your style, Mix of Ingredients is cotton-pickin' cute rendered in quilting cottons, too. Fusible appliqué makes it a breeze to complete. Consider fussy-cutting the lip of the vase, as quilt tester Laura Boehnke did, to capitalize on a fabric's design. She also varied her machine-appliqué stitches, using blanket, satin, and zigzag stitches for added interest. Fabrics are from the Provence & Beyond collection by Faye Burgos (available May 2013) for Marcus Fabrics
Mix of Ingredients Color Option
Transform the tulips into pop art with large-scale prints and high-contrast colors. Cutting the stems and leaves from solids helps them recede in the overall design. The canister shape was a bit too traditional for this fabric choice, so we modified it. The rounded shape in the border print's tulips provided the inspiration for the new vase. Fabrics are from the Hello Gorgeous! collection by Melissa Ybarra of Iza Pearl Design for Windham Fabrics.
Scraps All Around
Quilt collectors: Mary Elizabeth Kinch and Biz Storms
Triangle-squares spinning in every direction surround a small medallion center. With few fabrics repeated, the circa 1880 quilt is a visual feast for fabric-lovers!
Scraps All Around Color Option
Here Comes the Sun
You'll have sunshine on a cloudy day with this cheery throw that features yellow bursting through black and gray. Geometric prints lend a modern feel to a traditional block and color combination. Fabrics are from the Eclipse Cotton & Tonga collection from Timeless Treasures Fabrics.
Scraps All Around Color Option
Not every print is a star, but this color option proves an ensemble cast of mostly tone-on-ton prints can be a huge success. Beginning with a pair of leftover prints, this medley of scrappy triangle-squares becomes a striking table topper. The key to making this combo sparkle is deliberately alternating the placement of the gray-brown neutral across the quilt top, letting the brighter colors capture most of the attention.
Seeing Stripes
Designer: Victoria Findlay Wolfe of Bumble Beans, Inc.
You may see more work here than there really is! Fussy-cut stripes of all kinds--skinny, wide, and even chevron--make every part of this quilt, including binding, spectacular. Fabrics are assorted stripes and Cotton Couture solids from Michael Miller Fabrics.
Seeing Stripes Color Option
Jewel-tone blues, golds, and browns in subtle tone-on-tones create a rich wall hanging. Fussy-cutting striped fabric makes the Aster blocks pop. Fabrics are from the Renaissance Garden collection by Jinny Beyer for RJR Fabrics.
Seeing Stripes Color Option
Wonder what you'll do with that marvelous print you picked up on vacation? Here's the solution. Pack together a bevy of prints with a common coloration (ours was blue-and-white and red-and-white). The diversity of prints-including novelty, travel, paisley, floral, polka dots, and geometrics-is held together by the bright white in each.
Corner Pocket
Designers: Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle of Modern Quilt Studio
Subtle yet intentional contrast visually separates the pieces in an easy variation of the Attic Windows block. Simply add strips to two edges of a square, then set the resulting block on point. Fabrics are from the Victorian Modern collection by Modern Quilt Studio for Andover Fabrics.
Corner Pocket Color Option
High Fashion
Bold girly prints stand out against red, black, white, and gray sashing for a high-impact wall hanging. Fabrics are from the Fashionista collection by Ro Gregg forFabri-Quilt.
Corner Pocket Color Option
An eclectic array of geometric and floral fabrics combines for a cozy quilt. Subtle similarities in saturation and levels and prints tie it together. The decorator's rule of incorporating a color three times in a room (or in out case, a quilt) helps unite the prints. The brown tone-on-tone sashing creates a bridge that frames each print and prevents the prints from competing for attention.
Red, White & Stripes
Designers: Sarah Maxwell and Dolores Smith of Homestead Hearth
Color placement is the key to creating these sparkling stars in a patriotic palette. Fabrics are from the Gallery in Red and Blue collection by Faye Burgos for Marcus Fabrics.
Red, White & Stripes Color Option
Citrus Stars
A playful palette of citrus colors-orange, green, and yellow-brings a summery look to this wall hanging. Careful placement of triangle-squares produces pairs of star blocks. Fabric are from the Mooshka collection by Julie Paschkis forIn the Beginning Fabrics.
Red, White & Stripes Color Option
So many patterns, so much fun! Who knew triangles could result in so many different looks. Color placement is key to this four-partial-block color option, too. Make only the center section of the original 36-triangle-square block and you'll see an X emerge. We replaced the center Pinwheel with a square. Combining four blocks creates a fifth X where the blocks intersect. Fabrics are from the Vintage Dry Goods collection by Daiwabo for E.E. Schenck's Cara Collection.
Designers: Paula Barnes and Mary Ellen Robison of Red Crinoline Quilts
The shapes created by joined rows reflect fine menswear finishing, such as bow ties and Argyle, making this pattern perfectly suited for a special guy. Fabrics are from the Freedom Rings collection by Paula Barnes for Marcus Fabrics.
Haberdashery Color Option
Poppy Fields
Red and turquoise combine beautifully in a wall hanging that features large floral prints and ample room for extensive quilting in spacious cream print setting squares. Fabrics are from Silvia's Garden collection by Silvia Vassileva and the Terra collection, both for P&B Textiles.
Haberdashery Color Option
Give the pattern a twist to make a crib or wall-size quilt. Straight-set the blocks and alternate them with setting squares cut from a lively print. Are you thinking you have to follow the rule of choosing between batiks and quilting cottons? Guess again! Mixing cotton prints and batiks in quilts it all the rage. Fabrics are from the Pocket Full of Poppies collection by Kathy Davis for FreeSpirit and Bali Hand-Dyed Watercolors from Hoffman California Fabrics.

On week four of my 20 Week Organization Challenge, I have a confession to make. I am having a really hard time sticking to one item per week. One reason for that is because many of the items I had on my original list seem to run together. For example, I realized that I had inadvertently done #11 on my list when I reorganized the boys closet shelf. Now I'm going to have to think about a new area to clean up in place of that. Not that it will be a problem… there's plenty to do around this place!
But another example came this week when I went to clean off my desktop, which originally (and embarrassingly) looked like this:
Um, yeah. So I started cleaning. And I realized that to put all that stuff away, I may as well clean out the drawers and do it right. And if I took all the drawers out, I might as well move the desk into the living room as planned. And, well, it was a Tuesday and H was at preschool and E was asleep and Rick was out of town overnight… so I did all three.
I know this breaks the spirit of the baby steps approach and doing one item per week, but I couldn't help myself with this one. Here are the drawers before (except the center drawer, a.k.a. one of my junk drawers – it's day is coming).
And the drawers after:
Do you see that there are TWO empty drawers!?!?!? TWO, PEOPLE! Yeah – a lot of junk was in those things. Now there is an office supply drawer, a paper drawer, an envelope and stationary drawer, and a computer software/spare hardware drawer. I did find something for one of the empty drawers – large envelopes and packing tape. I still have one more empty drawer. This went a long way in me figuring out what to do with much of my office stuff since it'll be in the living room now. The after pics of the desktop -in the living room:
Since there was a bit of "cheating" (in a good way, right?) on this one, here's what the updated list looks like:
- Bathroom cabinet
- Boys closet shelf and clothing
- Boys toys and bedding storage
- Desktop/drawers and move desk out of office
- Office corners
- Office closet upper shelf
- Junk drawers
- Buffet
- Our bedroom closet
- Kitchen desk area
- Make a place for table linens
- Canned goods/canning and food storage supplies
- Find a place for Rick's work clothes and my business supplies
- Kitchen glasses cupboard
- Bathroom linens/storage
- Scrapbooking table
- My sewing items
- Lower kitchen appliance cabinet
I will come up with two more items. And I will try to keep it to one item per week from now on. And really, half that junk that was in the desk is now sitting on my office floor (in piles, of course) waiting to find a new home…wish me luck!
What about you? Have you been cleaning up/cleaning out your spaces?

Today's Music: James Taylor – Sun On The Moon
What a week! It was long, it was cold, and I was really tempted to say bad things to whoever was in charge so i could get fired. So how did I keep it together? Why, by reading blogs! Here's some of what I saw…
Roller Giraffe hit a milestone. Kimberliah was thinking too much, and Ashley had some strong thoughts on child-rearing.
And to top all that off, Revis Edgewater (well known from StuphBlog, but also with his own corner of the sphere), graced me with the Epically Awesome Award of Epic Awesomeness! (That's as cool to get as it is hard to type!)

The "reject" list!!! Michelle
(Hey, that's what I call the responses I get from social apps too!)
Their Darwinian nature: they will either save or be the demise of us (rollergiraffe)
(And help some people win Darwin Awards along the way!)
I can pretend I know how to use one. Addie
(Just furrow your brow and curse. People will think you're a pro!)

Congratulations to Brian for this week's winning answer! And from the offered choices, the most popular was Why do we still call them "phones"?!? Does anyone still use them for calls!?!, so congratulations to all you who wonder about the same things I do. I wonder if we can get a group rate on therapy…
This week, The Guapian Eye turns to something we all love -CUPCAKES!!! And we ask the most important question: What should they be filled with?
So have at it! Answer with filling on your hands, answer with crumbs on your shirt! (or is that just me?) But answer by 2359 EST on 28 March, because that's when this one ends. (And if you leave an "Other" answer, leave a way to recognize you and I'll link back next week.)
And to finish up this week, enjoy a modern retelling of the Passover story.
See you all when next we see each other!

Home Organizing on a Budget
Nobody like mess and chaos at home, but sometimes it is really difficult and even impossible to keep some kind of a simple order in the kitchen or make the living room look larger, because there are so many stuffs there. When it comes to home organizing, every single housekeeper would say that she needs more money that will help her arrange and maintain her house perfectly and satisfying enough for each person from the family.
Compact cabinets and original shelves that even though are tiny and small, they may accommodate lots of personal belongings, boxes, and cupboards to gather all of the clothes with no need to use other premises as stores – these things generally cost a lot, and, unfortunately, it is hard to afford them all. Home organizing, though, may be also achieved at some really low prices. Here are some really nice and original home organizing ideas on a budget that will change your house or flat in no time and almost for free.
Colorful Jars
Kitchen may look really nice and tidy, if you use old jars to gather the spices or products such as rice and beans. To make the atmosphere sweet and lovely, decorate the jars with hemp twine and label the jars with artistic letters. You can use that kind of jars all over the house – for example, you can organize also your kid toys and your stationery.
Organize the Notes
To keep yourself organized and save lots of the area at home, gather all of your notes, accounts or informal papers at one place – stick some of them on the refrigerator and place the other in your old student folder.
In the Bathroom
In the bathroom, you may use the old stepladder, which cannot find its own place anywhere in your house, while you are suffering from a lack of garage or store. Use it to arrange the towels and the cosmetic products.
About the Living Room
If your living room is about to be chosen and bought, we strongly recommend for your small living room some compact ottoman that may accommodate lots of stuffs in his hidden storage. You may collect your books or CDs here. As to the magazines and newspapers, try to avoid storing them, too, because the free area is impossible by having so many papers at home. Moreover – the mess looks even worse with these scattered magazines all around the room. If you need some of them or parts of them, just cut what you need and store the articles in a particular folder, too. Try to store the batteries in an old box and do not throw them in the recycle bin singly. As soon as the box fills, drive them to the next electric store, where they can recycle them properly – this is a responsible eco action that goes even further than your budget-friendly organizing.
